Celebrated for its bold flavours, Waatu is turning up the heat with an exciting lineup of monthly events created to keep things smoky, sizzling, and full of surprises. From a global cocktail adventure to a Yakitori Night with the legendary James Viles and an unforgettable smoky feast crafted by Executive Chef Andy Photiou, there’s no shortage of delicious excitement ahead.
At its heart, Waatu celebrates fire, embers, and smoke. The menu draws inspiration from the age-old tradition of cooking over a wood fire, where flames enhance every dish with rich, smoky depth. Whether it’s perfectly charred meats or fresh, smoky seafood, each bite delivers that signature fire-kissed flavour – even in the desserts. And the star of the show? Yakitori – the Japanese art of grilling skewered delights to perfection.
Yakitori Night with Jimmy V – Skewers, Sake, & Shenanigans
Throw out any preconceived notions of a traditional dinner as Waatu’s Yakitori Night serves up a whole new vibe once a month – featuring skewered goodness grilled to perfection by none other than Jimmy V (aka James Viles).
Think of it like a chef’s table but with a whole lot more fun. James Viles is bringing his legendary yakitori expertise, creating a menu packed with smoky, mouth-watering creations. His mission? To unite food lovers through the magic of fire-cooked flavours.
Whether you’re in the mood for a late-night snack or a post-beach indulgence at Sundays Beach Club, Yakitori Night is the place to be. It’s the ultimate gathering for night owls and anyone who loves fire-cooked food.
